[R] surfaces and digital terrain model

[Renaud Lancelot]

Dear all,

I have computed a digital terrain model from a set of points (x, y, z) 
using the function interp() in package akima. I want to predict flooded 
surfaces given target values of z. I can display the flooded surfaces 
with contour() or image(), but I don't know how to get the polygons 
delimiting the surfaces. Did anyone write a function for this purpose ?

Best regards,

Renaud
